Lamb koftas and Greek salad

This recipe is:

This traditional Greek salad is fantastic when served with lamb koftas. It has a wonderful dressing that comes from the natural juices of the tomatoes and a drizzle of olive oil. It's best served at room temperature so you can appreciate the flavours of all the vegetables.

Ingredients

Easy lamb koftas (serves 4 )

1 punnet of cherry tomatoes, halved

1 lebanese cucumber, cubed

1 red onion, sliced into rings

100g of feta cheese, cubed

100g of pitted kalamata olives

1 tsp of dried oregano

3 tbsp olive oil

Method

1

In a glass bowl place tomatoes and cucumber. Season with salt and pepper.

2

Add onions, olives, feta and oregano. Turn with a large spoon.

3

Drizzle olive oil and mix together to coat. Leave to stand for 15 mins and mix to cover in dressing. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

Some cooks like to add a little lemon juice to the dressing but I prefer it without.

This is a great summer salad and I eat it during winter when I am sick of casseroles.

It makes a great quick meal if you buy some ready-made lamb skewers and throw them on the grill.
